Integrated Scholar Spotlight: Danica King

King has combined her love of travel with an international business major.

Danica King has grown up with a traveler’s spirit. Since she was a girl, King and
her family traveled internationally, and she always enjoyed learning about new places
and cultures. Now a junior at Texas Tech, King is an international business major and pursuing a minor in French.

Over the past summer she was part of a group of students that studied abroad in France
with Professor Carole Edwards. She describes the experience as enlightening—not only for the opportunity to strengthen
her language skills but to learn about French culture.

Back in Lubbock, King has been involved in several service projects with her sorority
to promote breast cancer education.

Looking ahead, she has her eye on internships in Europe. King says she feels fortunate
to have experienced so much in her life, and she hopes to give back through a career
that supports humanitarian efforts around the world.
